My Sketchnoting Workflow for Presentations
It sounds very meta but I thought I would have a go at sketching out the workflow I use when I create a sketchnote as an aide memoire for a talk I'm going to give.
The steps are roughly in this order (in case you can't read my writing):
- Think of the presentation subject
- Brainstorm the major points as a mind map
- Refine this list into a set of ordered chunks that will be my script
- "Act" the script in an "Italian Run Through"
- At the same time, make a rough sketchnote of the presentation
- Refine the "act" and the sketchnote together
- Embellish the finished sketchnote with details I want to make sure to bring out during the talk
- Scan the drawing for archiving later
- Throw away my written notes
- Take the sketchnote to the presentation
- Profit!
